gerkintrigg Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi!I'd like to produce an interactive CD ROM with links to a website I'm making. The website I'd like to use will have PHP/MySQL functionality, but I'd like to use this offline. Therefore I'll need to have all the data on the CD. My question is this: How do I get a PHP engine with MYSQL ability to run from a CD without running an install programme?Is there some freeware / open source software that I might look at?Cheers.Neil Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21979-php-on-a-cd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 [quote]Is there some freeware / open source software that I might look at?[/quote]If you know anything about Linux you could quite easily build a custom LiveCD to do this. fair bit of work involved, but possible.

gerkintrigg Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 oh... well I don't really know much about Linux - I had a play with shells a few months back, but never really got into it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21979-php-on-a-cd/#findComment-98186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Someone the other day asked something like this before. there was a reply which posted a link to a site that, or mentioned about a package you can add to a USB flash drive and you could run your PHP scripts of off the usb drive without installing anythink. Prehaps this could be used on a CD. I'll se if I can find that thread.EDIT:Found that thread [url=http://www.firepages.com.au/php_usb.htm]this is the site[/url] I was on about.

trq Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 This question does come up from time to time. Maybe I'll look into starting a small project on it in the future. Ive made a few custom Linux LiveCD's in the past. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21979-php-on-a-cd/#findComment-98221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 thorpe, I think what he wants is to run it on an installed operating system, not booting into it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21979-php-on-a-cd/#findComment-98256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 You could use third-party commercial products that will encode your source. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21979-php-on-a-cd/#findComment-98274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he might aswell. Not sure how would go about that. It would be quit easy however to build a Linux system that would boot straight into a full screen browser.
